The storm abated considerably today. It was still windy, rainy, cold, and miserable, but not as bad as yesterday. Very strong winds were predicted for tonight, however, so Roy brought in everything that could blow away or cause a problem, and he lashed down the sails. Then, in late afternoon, Hurricane Gordon began losing strength and turned back towards the south. That's good news for us, but I hope it doesn't hit Florida again. Those poor people have suffered more than enough.
Roy continued installing the heater and relocating the table. It's nearly finished now; he just has to wait for some parts.
This Blog is our mother's logs from her sails aboard Jofian. Our mother, Clare Holt, wrote a log every day and after her first sail to Mexico, she bought a laptop to write and save her logs. She sailed when the World Wide Web was first created, there was not as much on the Internet back then, no Wi-Fi, Internet access was very limited. I know if she were sailing today that she would be putting her logs in a Blog, so I am doing it for her. Mom’s logs to Alaska are on saillogsalaska.blogspot.com.
